 about  me

I've loved both writing and art ever since I was a kid. So far, I have published six novels and lately I've been painting up a storm.

I am a novelist, artist, and world traveler. I love exploring new places and getting awesome ideas for both stories and art. When I'm not off exploring, I live with my artist husband, Steve, in the beautiful Pacific Northwest.

I have a Master's degree in English and Creative Writing from Southern New Hampshire University and am the president and developmental editor for Firedrake Books, LLC, a small publishing company for middle grade, young adult, and children's chapter books. I am a member of the National Association of Independent Writers and Editors
